McHenry Township Sledding Hill

A GREAT WINTER FAMILY EXPERIENCE is an obstacle free sledding run of about 300 feet that even adults will enjoy. The downhill sledding path which is the right (or west) side of the hill, extends out past the soccer fields, offering a safe sledding experience.

When sledding, stay in the designated downhill path! There is also a smaller Bunny Hill for the younger children to the right of the designated walkway in the center of the hill.

Do not climb up the hill in the downhill sledding path! For your safety always climb the hill in the wide platform walkway with railings for uphill traffic. The re-graded hill has permanent fences erected at the top of the hill and a snow fence by the Bunny Hill. Do not go beyond these fences.

The area is lighted providing after dark sledding until 10 p.m. There is ample parking, an enclosed winter shelter with a fireplace for warming, picnic tables and a new bathroom facility. Firewood is provided by the Township.

There should be at least 6" of snow and no grass visible.Please obey “SLEDDING HILL CLOSED” signs when posted as the hill may be closed due to lack of snow cover or for other safety reasons.

FOLLOW PARK RULES! The Sledding Hill is NOT supervised so use at your own risk. McHenry Township is NOT responsible for injuries. For safety, parents should be present!
